Average draft position (fantasy football ADP) is one of the most important tools in fantasy football.

Not only is it important to know where targeted players are likely to be drafted, but ADP offers a great look at how the field prices each position and player, opening up the opportunity to find value.

Fantasy Football ADP 2025, DraftKings Best Ball, PPR:

Top DraftKings Best Ball Targets, July

  • Drake Maye, ADP: 118.4
  • Jayden Higgins, ADP: 108.1
  • Evan Engram, ADP: 93.7

It's early in draft season, so let's look at some best ball targets that are going outside the top 90 players at DraftKings.

Drake Maye was the QB7 in fantasy points scored in his full games as a rookie, largely because of his rushing upside. He was the QB8 in rushing fantasy points per game, adding 4.2 fantasy points per contest on the ground. Moving forward, we are hoping he will have better weapons to target in 2025 (Stefon Diggs, Kyle Williams), and we expect him to be working with a better coaching situation (Josh McDaniels).

With Tank Dell likely sidelined for the season, the No. 2 receiver spot in Houston is wide open. Higgins is reportedly the clear favorite for that role after showing well in offseason activities, though there are other options for that job including veteran Christian Kirk. Nico Collins is the unquestioned lead guy in the receiver room, but there is room behind him for Higgins to get a fantasy viable target share if he takes that No. 2 job. There is also the potential for more than that if Collins once again misses time. Collins played in just 12 games last season, and he has averaged just under 13 games per season since entering the league.

Speaking of target opportunity, Evan Engram is in a great spot to soak up targets from Bo Nix, though we did not see the then rookie target the position last season. Overall, Broncos tight ends ranked 30th in targets, 29th in receptions, 30th in yards, and 25th in yards per target last year. Engram should be much more involved than that. Despite being limited to nine games last season, he was targeted on 26.6% of his routes. Over his three seasons with the Jaguars, Engram was targeted on 22.2% of his routes, eighth among qualifying tight ends over that span. He has never been a touchdown scorer, but that is less of a concern at DraftKings, which has full PPR scoring.

Top 10 Fantasy Football ADP Risers:

  1. Dylan Sampson
  2. Jerome Ford
  3. J.K. Dobbins
  4. Dak Prescott
  5. Calvin Austin III
  6. Omarion Hampton
  7. Cedric Tillman
  8. Odell Beckham Jr.
  9. Tucker Kraft
  10. Jaydon Blue

The recent fireworks mishap for Najee Harris (listed among the fallers below) has unsurprisingly pushed Omarion Hampton up the board.

Hampton was in an interesting part of the draft even before this price increase, and he now presents an even more difficult risk-reward proposition.

On the one hand, he is a first-round pick, a viable big-play threat, playing for a coaching staff that wants to run the ball, and playing behind an offensive line that should be able to open holes.

On the other hand, Harris is a viable veteran threat who held off a more efficient back in Pittsburgh (Jaylen Warren) all while creating fewer big plays than the secondary option.

Ultimately, though, every practice Harris misses — remember, though he is a veteran, he is learning a new system — increases the chances of Hampton being the clear lead back.

If that happens, he can smash his even inflated draft price.

Top 10 Fantasy Football ADP Fallers:

  1. Quinshon Judkins
  2. Najee Harris
  3. Jonnu Smith
  4. Jauan Jennings
  5. Julian Hill
  6. Jack Bech
  7. Terrance Ferguson
  8. Pat Freiermuth
  9. Tre Harris
  10. Darren Waller

Jonnu Smith was falling before the trade that sent him to the Steelers, and the move is unlikely to halt that momentum.

The Steelers dropped back to throw 72 fewer times than the Dolphins last season, and that was with Tua Tagovailoa playing in just 11 games.

There have been 96 individual team seasons over the last three years.

An Arthur Smith offense occupies three of the bottom 16 spots in pass rate over expected during that time.

On the bright side, Jonnu Smith was on one of those offenses — the 2023 Falcons — and he earned a 50-582-3 line while playing with Drake London and Kyle Pitts.

The Steelers utilized two tight ends or more at the sixth highest rate last season, something that is almost certain to continue with Smith added to the mix.

Smith was sixth among tight ends and 20th among all qualified pass catchers, receivers included, in yards after catch average last season, making him the kind of weapon the Steelers needed to pair with DK Metcalf

Moving to the Steelers is likely a downgrade for Smith's fantasy outlook, but it is not a massive one.
